Foster Children’s Gift Program
The Foster Children’s Christmas Gift Program works with Children’s Services to learn what foster children want for Christmas. In mid-November, WishLists are available for parishioners who want to purchase a child’s gift themselves. Monetary donations from those who want to donate but not shop are welcomed. The foster families pick up the gifts from the Parish Hall the first week in December.

Prayer Teams  There are three choices of Prayer Teams to join: Telephone Prayer Chain, Email Prayer Chain, and Prayer Partners.
